Coolant temperature indicator

The coolant temperature indicator is on
the right side in the instrument cluster
(

page 24).

During severe operating conditions, e.g.
stop-and-go traffic, the coolant tempera-
ture may rise close to 120°C.

The engine should not be operated with
the coolant temperature above 120°C.
Doing so may cause serious engine
damage which is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

may have leaked into the engine com-
partment to catch fire. You could be se-
riously burned.

cause serious burns and can occur just

ing from it.

Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle

engine has cooled down.
